Abstract:

Chapel Hill’s new mayor, Jonathan Howes, has gained respect for his fairness, his ability to get things done, and his ability to get people to work together. Several of his contributions and issues are profiled, as well as the challenges ahead which will determine his re-election. Howes has repaired relations with UNC-Chapel Hill and created a growth plan, but will face concerns over a possible tax increase, local water problems, and others. All of this will have voters left to decide if he deserves re-election.
